Ginger powder is one of the most versatile spices you can keep in your kitchen. With Pink House Pure Organic Ginger Powder (tangawizi), you get concentrated warmth and aroma that works in everything from a morning cup of tea to hearty stews and sweet baking. Here are simple, reliable ways to use it.
How much ginger powder to use
Ginger powder is more concentrated than fresh ginger, so a small amount goes far. As a general guide, a quarter to half a teaspoon of powder is roughly equal to about one tablespoon of freshly grated ginger. Start small and adjust to your taste.
